To me, this is the future of classical music recording. EMI wants to establish Ms. Lim as a major star, and selling her Beethoven set is a good way to do that. I don't need any more Beethoven piano sonata recordings, but I might pay a minimal price for a complete set, and if I like it, I might go see her in concert and buy her recordings of contemporary or unusual repertoire.
After all, Schnabel and Backhaus aren't about to return to the stage or record any contemporary music.
